🤝Expanding mental health services for Medicare recipientsYour 09/25/22 update on all things social work
Good morning! ☀️ We had a few people complete the survey, sharing that they were interested in helping out with the newsletter. The survey, however, is anonymous. If you’re one of the people interested in helping out, shoot us a message by replying directly to this email. Question: Which piece of legislation led to the creation of Medicare and Medicaid? NewsMedicare makeoverLegislation is being put in place that will expand the mental health workforce and strengthen Medicare’s ability to deliver mental health services to its recipients. Let’s start with a bit of a primer. Medicare is a government national health insurance program in the United States which began in 1965. It primarily provides insurance for Americans over the age of 65, however, it also includes some younger people who have disabilities such as end-stage renal disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The insurance currently provides coverage for about 60 million individuals. Medicare is not to be confused with Medicaid. Medicare is a federal program, while Medicaid is a state and federal program. Furthermore, Medicare provides health coverage for those over 65 and who have a disability, regardless of income, while Medicaid provides health coverage for those with very low income. Currently, the Senate Finance Committee is proposing changes to Medicare. These changes include:
It’s great to see mental health care continuing to be prioritized by the government. Yet these changes also raise questions: Why can’t LMFTs and LPCs bill Medicare even though they have similar educational requirements as LCSWs? And on a more general level, will the government also push for necessary changes in housing and other domains that directly impact people’s mental health care? Other social work-related news
